Pooja received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A sudden layoff left Pooja short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India868 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working night deliveries, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $260
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Pooja. I hope things turn around soon.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My husband and I read this together
Hang in there. Hope you get there. Love from Manchester.
Sending good thoughts, Pooja. This could happen to any of us
Hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Los Angeles!
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
